Rock Paper Scissors Robot

Rock Paper Scissors is a simple hand game played by two persons.
In each round, both players use their hands to form a symbol of "Rock", "Paper" or "Scissors" simultaneously. The following rule then applies.

"Rock" beats "Scissors".

"Scissors" beats "Paper".

"Paper" beats "Rock".

Based on the above rules, I made a robot that uses "machine learning" to play the game like a person. The robot can predict your next move, therefore, always win the game!

Below is a performance of the robot.

.... indeed, the robot cheated. It is simply too fast for us, human, to realise.
